At least 150 participants should be enrolled in the study to ensure that the data is more workable than in the original study. Although it might create a better pool of patients to…

My dad died unexpectedly from cardiac arrhythmia when I was 14 years old. This phrase has become my “go-to line” when people ask what happened. For them, it gives them all the information they need. However, it holds a different meaning for me, it holds how I felt when he died. Losing my father at such a young age changed quite a few social aspects of myself. A few common themes that emerged included the feeling of vulnerability, the feeling of having to grow up faster than everyone else, and an…

you back”. Ventricular Fibrillation is the most fatal of all rhythms. It is caused from your heart quivering, instead of pumping like normal and causes blood flow to cease. If the patient isn’t shocked within a few minutes, they can die from cardiac arrest. V-Fib is a rhythm you don’t forget! But it’s also visually obvious, its looks like a squiggle line across the ECG. No complex, no correlation to rhythm, just squiggles. But it also has a rhyme, “hearts array, shock right…

to huddle. Not even a snowstorm the size of Texas, trapping us all at work for days, could dampen my mood that morning. It was only my second week on the job in the emergency room when not even a half hour into my shift I witnessed my first cardiac arrest. I remember the charge nurse and medical staff moving at a fast pace as they worked meticulously to prep a room for the patient’s arrival. The stretcher came rolling through the door. One paramedic was hovered over the patient, dripping…

“To be or not to be that is the question” ( Shakespeare III.i.64). In this famous Shakespearean soliloquy, Hamlet ponders a captivating question that presents itself to 5.7 million people annually (Critical Care Statistics). This frightening statistic describes the amount of people on the precipice of life or death. The elementary answer to this question is simply life support. It has the propensity to sustain life for an extended amount of time and even revive those who have fallen victim to…

With CPR and First Aid training you could learn how to bring someone back to life, help them stop choking, or more simple procedures such as making a tourniquet to stop bleeding. If CPR is performed close to a cardiac arrest, choking, or whatever it may be can triple a person’s chance of survival. “Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States” (Monette, Michael. 2012). If teachers take a stand to advise students to be bold and encourage them…
